I am a Nikon DSLR user but wanted a camera I could carry with me when traveling around town. I looked at quite a few cameras and finally settled with this camera. I liked the reviews but was undecided until I looked at one in a large discount store. The camera felt "right" in my hand. It has a digital viewfinder which is ok, I have never liked composing a picture by looking at a back of a camera so it had to have a viewfinder. I do like the 18X zoom and it does work with the IS. The reason I rate it good instead of excellent it has a couple of small features that I find difficult - like viewing pictures taken when I have the urge to "Chimp" or the zoom can be too quick. I would buy this camera again and recommend it. It is light but not "tinny." Overall it has a good feel. It has some professional limitations but it is not being marketed as a professional camera. I would like a hot shoe for a flash just in case. Feel / handling: very good. Viewfinder image: good. Image quality: excellent. Battery life: very good. Battery cost: very good. Viewing and deleting pictures in the camera - good - to me this is hard compared to other camera. Zoom: This is a WOW! Excellent-especially with the image stabilization. Manual shutter and f/stop and manual focusing: so-so, but unless you are doing night shots this is not much of an issue. Overall I am very satisfied with the purchase. Just look for a 10% ebay coupon to help with the purchase.Read full review
Bought this camera because I wanted to have something with a zoom, so I could zoom into take pictures of the humming birds at my feeder. Being a novice to photography, I decided I should start out with a bridge camera. I studied the reviews of cameras and found that the panasonic dmc-fz ranked high on the scale. The reviewers seem to like the fz-35 better then the newest fz-40 and the people who had the fz-28's seem to like theres better. Well price made my mind up since I am inexperienced. Thought I will upgrade if I learn the camera functions and can take good pictures. At this time I am still studing the functions and learning how to use it but have had good experience so far. I would buy this camera again, and would recommend it to others wanting a bridge camera.
I had tickets to the inauguration, and needed a good camera, that was easy to operate, at a reasonable price. Consumer Reports had given this camera high marks and it did not disapoint. In the IA (intelligent auto) mode, it was impossible to take a bad picture. I photographed the inauguration, various Smithsonian exhibits, the Memorials, and the concerts. I photographed in daylight, night time and indoors. I really don't have any negatives on this camera. If you need a camera that can quickly deliver, run don't walk, to your nearest vendor and get this camera! Five big Stars!!!!!
By this time, 2018 - this is a badly outdated camera; BUT, if you don't need the latest and greatest, then for what this camera is selling for now, you can't beat it. Main reason being - IT TAKES GREAT PICTURES! Don't let the 10.1 pixel count fool you. The camera has a great Lieca lens, and that's probably why it does so well with image quality. Yes, the cell phone cameras are great these days, but a decent bridge camera is still useful. If you don't want to spend a lot on one, then I would highly recommend this.

I bought the camera on the recommendation of a friend and it fit my needs and came at a good price. Frankly, I don't know that I'll ever utilize all of the features that are included, but I've been experimenting with all the different settings and I'm amazed at the varying results. I'm very pleased with it so far, but am far from fully taking full advantage of all capabilities. It's well built and is as easy or complicated as you choose to make it. I'd recommend it.
